Today, I'm using this blog for a call-out from some of the editors over at REDBOOK—if you've got a story, they'd love to hear it.

From job losses to soaring costs of living, it seems there's no good news when it comes to the economy. But is there a silver lining? Can couples become closer if they give things up? Can scrutinizing spending habits make a couple closer? Editors over at REDBOOK are exploring the blessings of less—does becoming a one-car family mean more time for conversation? Does adjusting to a different budget mean cozy nights at home? If you have a story about the blessings you've found living on less, REDBOOK magazine wants to hear it.

Please send your story, along with a photo of you and your spouse, name, age, city and state, to REDBOOK assistant editor adavies@hearst.com. You may be featured in an upcoming issue!
